ENTERTAINMENTS.

; EVERYBODY’S TO-NIGHT. ? “ON WITH THE DANCE ” Ne’W York is made glitteringly attractive even in the scenes portraying its wickedness, in George Fitzmaurice’s production “On with the Dance,” the great Paramount - Artcraft Royalty masterpiece, which will be presented at Everybody’s Theatre to-night and to-morrow. Never has a more colorful photo-play been offered. In the brilliant scenes in Broadway cabarets, the luxurious apartments of.the rich, and the myriad-light-ed skyline of the great city, a dazzling spectacle has been filmed. This picture brings to the front the excellent dramatic talent of Mae Murray, (erstwhile of the Follies, and now a screen player of more than ordinary charm and ability). As a Russian immigrant girl, selfish and pleasure-loving, she is the central figure of the story. Thrown suddenly’ into the atmosphere of New York's “high life,” she at first yields to the temptations of easy money that are offered to her on every hand, but later, in a powerful anti-climax, redeems herself. “On with the Dance” shows to-night and at both sessions to-morrow. Night prices, are: D.C. 2s, and stalls 1/6; and matinee prices are, D.C. Is 6d and stalls Is. The box plans are at Collier’s.

THE EMPIRE. • DON’T EVER MARRY,” TO-MORROW The humor arising from such a situation as is presented in Marshall Neilan’s First National production “Don’t Ever Marry,” when a young husband of a day finds two other wives thrust upon him, neither of whom he can. remember leading to tile hymeneal altar, can be imagined. Yet the picture has to be seen to be thoroughly appreciated, for never has such delightful comedy been squeezed into six reels of masterly production, as “Don’t Ever Marry” reveals. The International Attractions announces the commencement of the “Don’t Ever Marry” season at the Empire Theatre to-morrow, and promises something very exceptional in the entertainment lina with his latest Neilan masterpiece. Neilan’s geijius for extracting the last bit of humor out of a situation, even in drama, has been allowed full swing in “Don’t Ever ‘Marry,” and the result is probably the funniest comedy ever seen on the screen. As the: season is limited to two nights, there is certain to be a rush for seats, and intending patrons would be wise to secure seats at Collier’s without delay. Prices of admission are: D.C. 2s,‘ stalls Is 6d, reserves 2s 6d (plus tax).

THE PEOPLE’S. LAST NIGHT OF “CLOTHES.” As brilliant a fashion display as was ever screened was seen last night in the Metro production of “Clothes” at the People’s Theatre. But the fashion display was only a background for one of the most intense photodramas ever screened. “Clothes” is a screen adaption of the successful stage drama by Avery Hopwood and Channing Pollick. Olivia is played with consummate art by Olive Tell, who heads an all-star cast that includes Cranford Kent, Cyril Chadwick, Zeffie Tilbury, Rae Allen, Frank Currier and Mary Beaton. The lavish production was made under the supervision of Maxwell Karger, Metro’s director-general. “King of the Circus” No. 2. Gazette, Travel and comedy are also shown. To-morrow’s change presents Olive Thomas in her latest S.elznick masterpiece, “Everybody’s Sweetheart.” The matinee to-morrow commences at 2 p.m.
